The impact of human activity on the planet is without a doubt one of the biggest challenges of our times. As business owners and creatives in the wedding and events industry, we are becoming more and more aware of the responsibility we have to look at how we do business and put sustainable protocols and strategies in place to the greatest extent possible.

One of the highlights of working on weddings is receiving images from clients from their wedding day. After months of communication working on the details of their wedding cake, it is delightful to see the cake in the context of the overall style of what is without doubt a joyous life event.

Carrot cake is a definite classic and a flavour that I adore. We actually had carrot cake as one of the tiers in our wedding cake many years ago. Despite my love for carrot cake, I haven't actually made it for a long time. I was delighted to revisit it recently however in the creation of this comforting layer cake recipe which I am so pleased to share with you. 

At Cove Cake Design, we operate our wedding cake tastings via a postal luxury tasting box service which is dispatched 3-4 times per year. This has been hugely popular with clients, with many saying it was one of the highlights of their wedding planning process. The postal box service allows clients to sample a selection of wedding cake flavours in the comfort of their home, discussing options and their preferred choices at leisure. It's the perfect excuse to grab a glass of Champagne and even get some friends or family round to join in the fun! Find out more in this blog post.
